On last week's THE VIEW, comedian and Broadway veteran Mario Cantone re-told the story Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Check it out below!

Mario Cantone is a comic writer and actor with numerous appearances on Comedy Central including "Chappelle's Show," and audiences loved him as Anthony Marentino on "Sex and the City." His style is fast-paced and energetic, with much of his humor coming from his impersonations of various characters ranging from his family members, to celebrities, including impressions of Liza Minnelli, Judy Garland, Bruce Springsteen, and others.

Cantone is also a regular stage performer with numerous Broadway credits. He made his Broadway debut in 1995 as replacement for the role of Buzz in the Tony Award-winning play, Love! Valour! Compassion! Later that year, he returned to Broadway in a revival of Shakespeare's The Tempest. As Cantone gained popularity and a cult following, he created his own one-man show for Broadway, An Evening with Mario Cantone, which he also wrote. A year later, Cantone starred in the lead role of The Violet Hour, which playwright Richard Greenberg had written specifically for him. In 2004, Cantone starred in the Stephen Sondheim musical Assassins as Samuel Byck. His latest Broadway appearance was in his second one-man show, Laugh Whore, which he also wrote. Laugh Whore received a Tony Award nomination for Best Special Theatrical Event.
